pres =6 and 3/4 times mec pay=17.25 times 6.75=116.4375, about $116.44
janitor is 3/4 or 0.75 of janitor=17.25 times 0.75=12.9375, about $12.94

add them

$17.25+$116.4275+$12.9375=146.615

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

  • At a factory, a mechanic earns $17.25 an hour.
  • The president of the company earns 6³/₄ times as much for each hour he works.
  • The janitor at the same company earns ³/₄ as much as the mechanic.

<u>Question:</u>

How much does the company pay for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us prepare a model for a mechanic earns $17.25 an hour.

\boxed{\$ 17.25}

Let us do multiplication on a fraction at first.

\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{4} \times 17.25 \ }

\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 17.25 \ }

\boxed{ \ = 3 \times \frac{17.25}{4} \ }

\boxed{ \ = 3 \times 4.3125 \ }

\boxed{\boxed{ \ 12.9375 \ }}

Then we make a model for the president of the company who earn 6³/₄ (six and three quarter) times as much for each hour the mechanic works. Recall that \boxed{6\frac{3}{4} \ parts = 6 \ parts + \frac{3}{4} \ parts}

\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{\$ 17.25}\boxed{12.9375}

Let's calculate how much the president of the company earns for each hour.

\boxed{ \ = (6 \times \$ 17.25) + \$ 12.9375 \ }

\boxed{ \ = \$ 103.5 + \$ 12.9375 \ }

\boxed{ \ \$ 116.4375 \ }

And we also calculate for the janitors who earn ³/₄ as much as the mechanic.

\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{4} \times 17.25 = 12.9375 \ }

Finally, let's add up all earning to find out how much does the company pay for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work.

\boxed{ \ \$ 17.25 + \$ 116.4375 + \$ 12.9375 = \$ 146.625 }

Find the distance between the points (13, 20) and (18, 8).<br> 13<br> 7<br> 11
Lana71 [14]

Answer:  13

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached graph.

A third point (18,20) may be added to the two given points to form a right triangle with sides 5 and 12.  The distance, x, between the original two points is given by x^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

x^2 = 25 + 144

X^2 = 169

x = 13

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

-80

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to do the parentheses first because it's part of PEDMAS.

-2x-5= 10

Next, we take 10 times -8

-8 x 10= -80
